Why Stenos products?
Thinking about which material to use for your project? We will be glad to help. Our fieldstone products offer a wide range of options for use in construction and architecture.
Here are some solid reasons why you should consider using natural stone:
Fascinating
Sakleshpur The stone our products are made of is a product of nature, with unique properties resulting from the type of minerals it is composed of and bonds between them.
Each stone is unique in terms of shape, colour and structure. It is not a homogenous product of manufacture and its diverse forms result from the process of its formation. Natural stone has a special position among all building materials.
Noble
dejectedly While most of building materials tend to degrade over time, our natural stone products develop natural patina which does not spoil their beauty.
They are like good wine – they improve with time becoming even more elegant. Additionally, they are easy and inexpensive to maintain. When correctly processed and installed, our natural stone reveals its strength and durability. Properly designed and installed pavements made of our natural stone products can last for many thousands of years!
Diverse
This feature of our products results from geological processes taking place during the advance of the continental glacier. As a result, we constantly discover a huge diversity of unique colours and patterns in our natural stone.
Additionally, owing to different surface processing techniques and the technique of splitting the stone to shape, the range of products we can offer to our customers is practically unlimited. Hence, architects and owners are given a wide choice of options to pick from which allows them to match the material with the overall character of the design and the ambiance it is supposed to create. Due to this diversity and when properly processed, our stone will meet all the requirements for construction and finishing materials.
Durable
Owing to properties such as high compressive strength, low water absorption and high abrasion resistance, our natural stone has been dubbed a material for eternity.
Our products have a compressive strength of ca. 300 MPa and water absorption capacity of 0.2%. Just for comparison, hydraulically pressed concrete pavers have a compressive strength of ca. 60 MPa and water absorption capacity 5%. of 5%. Our products are the best choice as regards flooring and paving materials. Floors and paved surfaces made from our products show almost no wear even after dozens of years.
Excellent physical properties
The stone products we offer have very good heat conduction properties and good heat accumulation capacity.
That is why they are a perfect choice for fireplace finishes and flooring to be installed over underfloor heating systems. Facades made of our stone absorb heat from sunlight, thus preventing undesirable overheating of the buildings’ interiors.
Attractive price
Independent studies have shown that stone is not more expensive than comparable synthetic materials if we analyse the cost of building materials in the perspective of their 30-year or longer use.
A relatively higher cost of purchase is compensated by durability of our products and low cost of their cleaning and maintenance.
Ecological
As a building material stone is a practically finished product of nature. Energy is consumed only for its mining/ extraction and processing and not for its manufacturing, as is the case with other materials.
In addition, these processes are less energy-intensive than manufacturing. Also, when processing natural stone we use up the entire bulk of feedstock – no waste is generated.
Environment friendly
As a wholly natural building material our natural stone contains no components harmful to health.
Hence, it is completely safe for use in kitchens or bathrooms. It is also fireproof and produces no harmful emissions under fire conditions.
Custom-made
Owing to the use of our in-house developed advanced methods of field stone cutting and a variety of processing techniques, we can meet the needs of our customers and bring out the uniqueness of natural stone as building material.
